Protein detail:
| Protein name | ORF6 protein |
| Uniprot protein ID | P0DTC6 |
| Protein length | 61 amino acids |
| Protein description | ORF6 encodes a viral accessory protein. Based on its similarity to other coronavirus proteins, ORF6 protein is thought to play a role in viral pathogenesis.The functions of orf6 are as follows: 1) it binds the nsp8 in the replication\transcription complex which reflects its importance for the viral replication, 2) it increases the infection titer, 3) it contributes to the evasion of the virus to the host immune system through inhibition of the interferon induction and signaling pathway; it inhibits the Signal Transduction and Activator of Transcription (STAT 1), and 4) it participates in the formation of the DMV in the host cells which helps in protein trafficking to ensure the assembling of the virus. |

| Evidence | We combined genomic and structural analysis to evaluate genomes isolated from different regions of Brazil and show that the most prevalent mutations were located in the S, N, ORF3a and ORF6 genes, which are involved in different stages of viral life cycle and its interaction with the host cells.(Supplementary Information) |
